Examples of plasmodesmata in the following topics:
-
- Plasmodesmata are junctions between plant cells, whereas animal cell contacts are carried out through tight junctions, gap junctions, and desmosomes.
- Plasmodesmata are numerous channels that pass between cell walls of adjacent plant cells and connect their cytoplasm; thereby, enabling materials to be transported from cell to cell, and thus throughout the plant .
- Lastly, similar to plasmodesmata in plant cells, gap junctions are the third type of direct junction found within animal cells.
- Structurally, however, gap junctions and plasmodesmata differ.
- Plasmodesmata allow materials to pass from the cytoplasm of one plant cell to the cytoplasm of an adjacent cell.
-
- However, nearly all plant viruses (such as tobacco mosaic virus) can also move directly from cell to cell, in the form of single-stranded nucleoprotein complexes, through pores called "plasmodesmata".
-
- They form plasmodesmata, which are microscopic channels that connect the cytoplasm of adjacent cells.
-
- Mesophyll cells are connected by cytoplasmic channels called plasmodesmata.
- Photosynthates move through plasmodesmata to reach phloem sieve-tube elements (STEs) in the vascular bundles.
-
- Gap junctions in animals and plasmodesmata in plants are connections between the plasma membranes of neighboring cells.
- In plants, plasmodesmata are ubiquitous, making the entire plant into a giant communication network.
-
- Plant cells have a cell wall, chloroplasts, plasmodesmata, and plastids used for storage, and a large central vacuole, whereas animal cells do not.
-
- However, nearly all plant viruses (such as tobacco mosaic virus) can also move directly from cell to cell, in the form of single-stranded nucleoprotein complexes, through pores called plasmodesmata.
-
- It is not clear if these particles can then leave the nucleus and be transmitted to surrounding cells as virions, or whether ssDNA is trafficked from cell to cell via the plasmodesmata.
